But though story is very important in the upcoming action-adventure title, Respawn have of course been paying a lot of attention to the gameplay side of things as well. So much so, in fact, that the game’s setting in the time period after Revenge of the Sith – with you playing as an on-the-run Padawn – arose from what sort of gameplay Respawn wanted in their title.

“There were some needs we had – from a gameplay standpoint – that lead us to the time period that [Fallen Order is set in],” game director Stig Asmussen told IGN in an interview (which you can view below). “Obviously one of them is being a Jedi with Force powers, but also this idea of [being] up against it all. Post-Order 66 fits so naturally, and it didn’t take us that long to arrive there.”
